Answer:

D. 200%

Explanation:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

So we actually would need like 5 Earths.

The option is 200%

Calculate the weight of an object of 30 kg on Earth. 2. Calculate the weight of an object of 30000 g on Earth. 3. Calculate the

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

1. 294N

2. 294N

3. 19.6N

4. 19.6N

5. 4.9N

6. 4.9N

7. 80N

8. 185N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is the force that gravity is having over it, and we measure it in <u>Neutowns (N), which equals Kg x m/s².</u>

To find the weight of an object, we use the formula F= m x g.

F stands for force, m for the object's mass, and g for gravity, which is the force that attracts objects to Earth, and we measure it by the acceleration that an object has during free falling.

<u>The Earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s²</u>

1. We use the formula F=m x g

F= 30kg x 9.8 m/s²

F= 294 N

2. We have to convert the 30000g into kg to use the formula

30000÷1000= 30kg

30000g equals to 30Kg, so the object's mass (m) is 30Kg.

F= m X g

F= 30kg X 9.8 m/s²

F= 294 N

3. F= m X g

F= 2kg X 9.8 m/s²

F= 19.6 N

4.We have to convert the 2000g into Kg.

2000÷1000= 2Kg

The object's mass (m) is 2Kg.

F= m X g

F= 2kg X 9.8 m/s²

F= 19.6 N

5. F= m X g

F= 0.5 kg X 9.8 m/s²

F= 4.9 N

6.We have to convert 500g to Kg.

500g÷1000=0.5Kg

The object's mass (m) is 0.5 kg

F= m X g

F= 0.5 Kg X 9.8 m/s²

F= 4.9 N

7. The gravity on the moon is different from the one on Earth. In the formula, instead of 9.8 m/s² for the gravity (g), we use 1.6 m/s².

F= m X g

F= 50Kg X 1.6m/s²

F= 80N

8. The gravity (g) on Mars is 3.7 m/s², so we have to use it in the formula where it says g to find the object's weight on Mars

F= 50Kg X 3.7m/s²

F= 185 N

Which of the following explains why arteries have thicker walls than veins?

Liula [17]

Answer:

c. because arteries carry high pressure blood from the heart

Explanation:

Arteries carry the oxygenated blood that is pumped directly from the left ventricle of the heart. Since they receive blood from the heart, the blood pressure is higher in arteries than veins. To withstand the higher pressure of blood pumped by heart, arteries have thicker walls than the walls of veins.
